Im sorry.. but at first glance... each step in your wheel journy looks like a downgrade.

Doesn't matter.

19" g35 rims are a step down from the 18" Rays you had.

2boosted4u 02-14-2010 08:51 PM

i like the look of the 19s better but the performance was much better with 18s

TheFarmer 02-14-2010 09:00 PM

I think the car looks great on the factory Track wheels. Those G35s 19s don't really look good on a 350z IMO.

sdZ33 02-14-2010 10:17 PM

I'm not really that big a fan of the 19" rays in the Z, but they look good black... IMO, I think spacers would make it look better... Over all I like your ride...

03LeMans350zed 02-15-2010 11:50 AM

they looked better on your Z with stock paint. but overall not bad i guess.

Boostedtrack350 02-15-2010 11:54 AM

Powdercoat the 18 inch Rays track wheels gunmetal FTW!

Max-G 02-15-2010 01:01 PM

painted stock wheels always fail. it just screams "i want not-stock wheels, but am too broke to actually buy aftermarket wheels, so i'll just paint another car's stock wheels a different color and hope no one notices" really loudly and all in one breath

OR you could have plenty of money to buy aftermarket rims but like the Stock RAYS wheels? Just my 2 cents. I've always liked my 18 inch Rays Track wheels.

Drewsum 02-15-2010 02:22 PM

did you paint or have a pro do it?

dtsj350z 02-15-2010 04:15 PM

should have spent all those money on some decent aftermarket wheels. body kit and stock wheel = don't match. I have a feeling you're going to get bored of those g35 wheels really soon.
